If so, the pilot may have made a grave error. The SR20 incorporates an airframe parachute - i.e., if the engine conks out or some other failure occurs, you simply deploy the parachute and the plane floats down under the canopy (as opposed to becoming a lawn dart).

Yep he was the pilot and as far as they can tell he was the only one on board.

Too low for the parachute or whatever to be used, according to CNN.
